In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop, the Atlanta Falcons are planning a special event featuring a legendary lineup of artists. The event is set to take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on November 26th when the Falcons face off against the New Orleans Saints.
The star-studded lineup includes iconic artists such as Jermaine Dupri, CeeLo, Big Boi, Ludacris, T.I., Jeezy, Quavo, and more. The event aims to celebrate the enduring relationship between the hip-hop community and the Atlanta Falcons, dating back to the early nineties and influenced by the drafting of Deion Sanders. Artists like Jermaine Dupri, Andre 3000, Big Boi, Ludacris, and T.I. rose to prominence during this era.
Tameka Rish, Senior Vice President of Fan and Associate Experience at AMB Sports and Entertainment, expressed excitement about the milestone and invited fans and the Atlanta community to join the celebration. The Falcons, known for their No. 1 ranking in overall gameday satisfaction in the NFL’s Voice of the Fan 2022, aim to merge the excitement of football with stellar entertainment.
Fans are encouraged to arrive early for the pre-game show at 12:30 p.m., which will honor over 60 Atlanta artists spanning five decades. The Falcons, in collaboration with Entertainment Creative Director DL Warfield, plan to showcase special visuals to create a 360-degree experience. Limited-edition hip-hop-inspired merchandise will also be available for purchase on game day. The event reflects the Falcons’ dedication to the culture of Atlanta and their commitment to unity with the broader hip-hop community.
